The Adamello Brenta Nature Park in the western part of Trentino covers a surface of 620 sq km, making it the largest protected area of Trentino. It includes the Val Rendena and is surrounded by the Val di Non, the Val di Sole and the Valli Giudicarie, as well as the Adamello and Brenta mountain groups. The park was founded in 1967 and was the first Italian Nature Park to be established, following a law issued by the Autonomous Province of Trento.
Its huge variety of different landscapes is typical for the central-southern Alps and includes fir, beech and larch forests, wide flower meadows, peat bogs, cliffs and rivers, stretching from 477 m a.s.l. to 3,558 metres of altitude. The higher located landscapes are characterised by the spectacular geologic variety of the Brenta Dolomites in the east and the Adamello-Presanella massif in the west. Thanks to its unique geology and geomorphologic heritage, the park figures in the list of the UNESCO Global Geoparks. It also includes numerous spectacular valleys, each of them with its unique landscape.
Deer, roe deer, chamois, squirrels, marmots, foxes, badgers, snow grouses and wood grouses and many other animal and plant species live in the Alps. The park is also known for being a home to the brown bear, which was resettled in Trentino in 1996 by the "Life Ursus" project. The staff of the Nature Park organises a wide range of interesting activities, such as excursions, hikes and workshops for the whole family, allowing visitors to discover all the peculiarities of this wonderful protected area.
